Chapter 191: Kindred Spirits? The Terrifying Transmigrator

"Her ability is the Paramecia-type Telekinesis Fruit!" Chen Ye, sensing Qin Muyin might not know how to explain, quickly answered on her behalf.

Why call it Paramecia-type? Because most Logia users can transform their bodies into elements, while Qin Muyin clearly couldn't transform herself into telekinetic energy.

"Telekinesis Fruit?"

Vice Admiral Mouse looked puzzled. He'd obviously never heard of such a powerful Devil Fruit ability before. But he didn't dwell on it too much. In the world of pirates, there are countless types of Devil Fruits. It was normal for him not to know about some undiscovered ones.

"It allows the user to control all objects in the world with their mind," Chen Ye added.

"An ability that can control everything in the world?"

Vice Admiral Mouse's face showed astonishment. The potential of such a fruit ability was tremendous!

"Lady Qin Muyin, has your fruit ability awakened yet?"

The term "Lady" was used in this world to address others respectfully. Qin Muyin's strength had earned her the Vice Admiral's full respect.

"Awakened? What does that mean?"

Chen Ye answered again, feigning ignorance to maintain his backstory as someone from a humble village. After all, the concept of Devil Fruit awakening was known only to top-tier experts and prominent figures.

"Awakening is the second evolution of a Devil Fruit's ability. After awakening, one can influence everything around them."

Vice Admiral Mouse explained briefly, then looked to Qin Muyin. This time, Qin Muyin answered herself, shaking her head. "I haven't awakened."

"Not awakened?"

Vice Admiral Mouse marveled, "Even without awakening, you possess such incredible power. Lady Qin Muyin, your potential is immense. I'll definitely recommend you to headquarters as a candidate for admiral!"

This was no empty promise from Vice Admiral Mouse. The recent loss of Admiral Aokiji had had a massive impact. Before his mission, Fleet Admiral Sengoku had hinted that he should recruit powerful individuals; any strong contender with interest in joining the Marines should be welcomed. Although the backgrounds of Qin Muyin and Chen Ye were somewhat unclear, neither of them had any criminal records, which was reassuring enough for the Marines.

"Thank you!" Qin Muyin replied courteously. "I, too, wish to join the Marines to help combat those ruthless pirates!"

Hearing this, Vice Admiral Mouse broke into a wide smile. Whether her words were sincere or not, having this attitude was enough.

Then, Vice Admiral Mouse turned his attention to Chen Ye.

"And what about you, Mr. Chen Ye? Could you tell me about your Devil Fruit ability?"

He seemed more relaxed with Chen Ye, as his strength, while impressive, hadn't reached the level of intimidation Qin Muyin's had.

"Of course! The fruit I consumed is the Zoan-type Mythical Beast Model, Flame Beast Fruit," Chen Ye replied, making it up on the spot. It wasn't that he wanted to fabricate his powers, but the truth was difficult to explain. Claiming it as a Logia-type wouldn't work either, since he couldn't turn into an element. The only option was to go with a Zoan-type explanation.

"A Mythical Beast-type, is it?"

Vice Admiral Mouse's attitude toward Chen Ye instantly grew more respectful. Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits were even rarer than Logia-types, and their potential was tremendous, on par with the Logia class.

"Mr. Chen Ye, you look to be only around twenty, right? No wonder you're so young yet possess such strength—it's because you're a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user."

At this moment, Vice Admiral Mouse looked at Chen Ye and Qin Muyin with a smile breaking through his usually stern expression. Both of these individuals possessed remarkable potential. With proper training and mastery of Haki, they would undoubtedly become top-tier warriors. Especially Qin Muyin, who was entirely qualified for the role of admiral. When he returned to headquarters and recommended these two, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement.

"Mr. Chen Ye, the technique you used on the deck earlier—I've seen it used by someone else before," Vice Admiral Mouse suddenly said.

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow, feigning curiosity. "Oh? Who might that be?"

"It was the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division Commander, Fire Fist Ace," Vice Admiral Mouse replied. "He consumed the Logia-type Mera Mera no Mi, a very troublesome pirate known for his signature Fire Fist technique."

"Fire Fist Ace? I think I've heard that name before," Chen Ye replied, deliberately adding, "Do you know where he is now? I'd like the chance to capture him myself."

Vice Admiral Mouse explained, "The locations of these notorious pirates are usually unpredictable. However, recently, it's likely that the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew will be near Fish-Man Island."

"Why's that?"

"Because a terrifying individual has recently been a guest of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Vice Admiral Mouse's expression grew somber. "You've probably heard of the recent Admiral Aokiji incident that's shocked the world, right?"

Chen Ye nodded immediately, then asked, "Is the culprit the same person visiting the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Yes, it's him!"

At this, Vice Admiral Mouse's face showed grief and intense hatred. Whether or not his expression was genuine didn't concern Chen Ye; he was far more interested in the individual capable of killing Admiral Aokiji.

"Vice Admiral Mouse, could you share any information on this culprit?"

Vice Admiral Mouse considered for a moment and said, "Details about this man are still classified, but I suppose it's alright to tell you since he's about to have a bounty issued—the highest bounty ever for a newcomer. The information I have is limited, but I know that this vile individual seems to possess a mysterious power that allows him to steal other people's Devil Fruit abilities directly… Admiral Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit ability has been fully absorbed by him."

Hearing this, Chen Ye's expression grew serious.

A power to steal Devil Fruit abilities? In the original storyline, the only person with that ability was Blackbeard.

But Blackbeard wouldn't be anywhere near here at this time, much less bold enough to go after Aokiji.

Chen Ye speculated that this man might be, like himself, a fellow transmigrator!

Then, Vice Admiral Mouse revealed another crucial piece of information:

"In fact, this despicable man appeared once about half a year ago and stole a rookie's Barrier-Barrier Fruit. At the time, he didn't draw much of our attention, but now…"

Unbelievable!

Chen Ye remembered that the Barrier-Barrier Fruit belonged to Bartolomeo, a devoted fan of Luffy who would play a significant role later in the story.

Who would have thought that Bartolomeo had already met an untimely end six months ago?

If Chen Ye had any doubts before, now he was almost certain: the person who killed Aokiji was definitely a transmigrator.

Only a transmigrator could possess such a world-defying ability!
